1 Getting Started

1.1 Introduction

The IWR1642 BoosterPack from Texas Instruments is an easy-to-use evaluation board for the IWR1642

mmWave sensing device, with direct connectivity to the microcontroller (MCU) LaunchPad Development

Kit. The BoosterPack contains everything required to start developing software for on-chip C67x DSP core

and low-power ARM R4F controllers, including onboard emulation for programming and debugging as well

as onboard buttons and LEDs for quick integration of a simple user interface.

The standard 20-pin BoosterPack headers make the device compatible with a wide variety of TI MCU

LaunchPads and enables easy prototyping.

1.2 Key Features

• Two 20-pin LaundPad connectors that leverages the ecosystem of the TI LaunchPad

• XDS110 based JTAG emulation with a serial port for onboard QSPI flash programming

• Back-channel UART through USB-to-PC for logging purposes

• Onboard antenna

• 60-pin, high-density (HD) connector for raw analog-to-digital converter (ADC) data over LVDS and

trace-data capability

• Onboard CAN transceiver

• One button and two LEDs for basic user interface

• 5-V power jack to power the board

1.3 Kit Contents

• IWR1642BOOST evaluation board

• Mounting brackets, screws, and nuts to place the printed-circuit board (PCB) vertical

• Micro USB cable to connect to PC

NOTE: A 5-V, > 2.5-A supply brick with a 2.1-mm barrel jack (center positive) is not included. TI

recommends using an external power supply that complies with applicable regional safety

standards, such as UL, CSA, VDE, CCC, PSE, and more. The length of the power cable

should be < 3 m.

2.2 Power Connections

The BoosterPack is powered by the 5-V power jack (5-A current limit), shown in Figure 4. As soon as the

power is provided, the NRST and 5-V LEDs should glow, indicating that the board is powered on.

NOTE: After the 5-V power supply is provided to the EVM, it is recommended to press the NRST

switch (SW2) one time to ensure a reliable boot-up state.

2.3 Connectors

2.3.1 20-Pin BoosterPack Connectors

The BoosterPack has the standard LaunchPad connectors (J5 and J6, shown in Figure 5) that enable it to

be directly connected to all TI MCU LaunchPads. While connecting the BoosterPack to other LaunchPads,

ensure the pin-1 orientation is correct by matching the 3V3 and 5-V signal marking on the boards.

(1) Voltage input to the GPADC available on the IWR1642.

(2) Indicates the state of the onboard VIO supply for the IWR device coming from the onboard PMIC. A HIGH on the PGOOD signal

(3.3 V) indicates the supply is stable. Because the I/Os are not failsafe, the MCU must not drive any I/O signals to the IWR

device before this I/O supply is stable to avoid leakage current into the I/Os.

(3) Controls the onboard PMIC enable. The MCU can use this to shut down the PMIC and IWR device during the periods it does not

use the IWR device and save power. The power up of the PMIC takes approximately 5 ms once the enable signal is made high.

2.3.3 CAN Interface Connector

The J3 connector provides the CAN_L and CAN_H signals from the onboard CAND transceiver

(TCAN1042HGVDRQ1). These signals can be directly wired to the CAN bus.

Because the digital CAN signals (Tx and Rx) are muxed with the SPI interface signals on the IWR device,

one of the two paths must be selected. In the Rev A of the board, to enable the CAN interface, R11 and

R12 resisters must be populated with 0 Ω; R4, R6, R28, and R63 resistors must be removed to disconnect

the SPI path. In the Rev B board, this is done by placing the switch S2 on the "CAN" position.

NOTE: For CAN use, a modification is needed along with the S2 position:

• Remove R11

• Connect U3-1 to U14-12 CAN_Tx

• Remove R12

• Connect U3-4 to U14-9 CAN_Rx

Figure 7 shows the CAN connector.

Figure 7. CAN Connector

2.4 PC Connection

The connectivity is provided through the micro USB connector over the onboard XDS110

(TM4C1294NCPDT) emulator. This connection provides the following interfaces to the PC:

• JTAG for Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) connectivity

• UART1 for flashing the onboard serial flash, downloading FW through Radar Studio, and getting

application data sent through the UART

• MSS logger UART (can be used to get MSS code logs on the PC)

When the USB is connected to the PC, the device manager should recognize the following COM ports,

shown in Figure 8:

• XDS110 Class Application/User UART – UART1 port

• XDS110 Class Auxiliary Data Port – MSS logger port
